Someone also did a web page with the order things need doing in:
http://www.xavhome.fr.eu.org/NetBSD/upgradepath-to-current.html

it's a bit out of date as it misses the need to build texinfo (I used it 
yesterday to update a 1.5.x box to -current)

The other useful tip is to delete (make that move the dir to somewhere safe) 
the contents of /usr/share/mk and /usr/include as some files from 1.5.x have 
newer datestamps than those from -current and things can get horribly 
confused.

Cheers,
